Far From Camelot by Rylee Hale
4.5 stars
This spicy, dark Arthurian reimagining exceeded my expectations! I’m always on the look out for gay fantasy novels and this is one I will be constantly recommending. Please check your triggers before reading if you have any.
It is the second book in Rylee’s Far From series but is a complete standalone. You do not need to read the first book to enjoy this one.
This follows the enemies to lovers relationship of Merlin and Mordred after Mordred kills Arthur. Merlin escapes his grief and guilt by leaving Camelot and hiding in the human world. Hundreds of years later Merlin accidentally bumps into Mordred who has also been in the human realm for a nearly 1000 years. They are drawn together by their powers but can’t get past their undying hate towards each other.
- Magic in modern NYC
- Tattooed emo-musician MMC/nerdy book-loving MMC
- True enemies to lovers
- Hate s*x
- Bond@ge and marking
Trust me when I say when the spice hit in this it blew my mind. Because they are true enemies (none of this dislike to love shit) the hate s*x was phenomenal. They constantly fight for dominance and use magic get their way, its basically magical BD$M.
The only reason that I didn’t give this 5 stars is because the ending dragged a little bit, I feel like it could have been wrapped up quicker
